"I provide a safe environment for clients to discuss their problems. I am interactive and collaborative in session. My main approach is psychodynamic, which means that the client's thoughts, feelings, behavior and early-life experience will be explored. This can create a better understanding of the challenges which the client is facing in their current life. As a result, the client is gradually able to make positive changes and create a life that is more satisfying and fulfilling to them."

"We all encounter stress, setbacks, and challenges in life. In my work with adults, many common symptoms are experienced: Difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, feelng jittery - the recognition that we are working too much and not taking good care of ourselves, or are unhappy with our body image - or not enjoying things we once liked to do, inclined to withdraw from relationshops or having trouble communicating; felt irritable, easily provoked to argument, used alcohol (shopping, gambling, etc.) as a means of escape, and felt sad, alone, or tired? These are all symptoms that something needs to change."

"Generations of spray paint and erasure create an impromptu Zen-like impression on the side of a white van. A sidewalk viewer passing by, stops to observe the layers of faded black letters and the cut-off scarlet swirls. The incomplete marks float in a balance of blank space that has been anonymously coordinated by a history of pre-verbal expression and attempts at covering over transgressive communication. In the anxiety of the uncontrolled-will to be heard, the therapeutic eye introduces a calming appreciation. Early summer sunlight splashes on the canvas, generously lifting its complex history into visual life."

"We cannot change what happens to us, but we absolutely can change how we experience and respond to it. We all develop survival strategies to cope with the problems we have in life, but sometimes these strategies do not serve us well, or they end up harming our relationships. If you feel stuck: bogged down by thoughts and feelings that cause you to suffer, or trapped in an unhealthy relationship dynamic with a partner or family member, do not lose hope. I can help you become more aware of your internal emotional experience and work towards positive change."
